Owen Gildersleeve, Illustrator, New York

Description

This vertical editorial illustration by illustrator Owen Gildersleeve features a red paper-cut ship positioned at the top center, moving downward through a dimensional series of layered grey and black paper waves. The sculptural paper-craft construction creates deep shadows and stark highlights between the tiered paper sheets, emulating wake and ocean depth. Black text is embedded along the descending dark layers. The composition is contained within a pale off-white border with the Politico magazine masthead positioned at the top.
